04/21/2018 - Yakima, Washington: Yakima Skyline Rim 50k . As we slowly turn south on the aptly named Canyon Road, the road narrows, the hills close in flanking the Yakima River and my palms start to bead with sweat. This race is the race which makes my heart flutter, both because it scares the crap out of me (because 10,000 feet of vert in 50k!) and because it’s one of my favorite races. There’s only a few races that I most thoroughly am gratified to finish and continue to do more than once and this is one of them. . Last year I came back because I had a chip on my shoulder and I happily (thankfully) finished. This year I came back to prove that last year wasn’t a fluke. . So I’m 2 for 3 now with finishes at this race. Actually I’m 2.75 for 3, but besides me, really who’s counting? The temperature wasn't as hot as years past except for a hot hour right in the middle of the day, but the climbs were just as brutal as they always are and the scenery just as expansive and beautiful as they always are. Except for the one time I rolled my left ankle, the one time I rolled my right ankle and the one time I caught an edge and went full horizontal slamming my leg against a rock, drawing blood and leaving me sitting on the side of the trail for several minutes the day went mostly according to plan. The sustained 20 mph sideways wind and the 30mph gusts on the ridge for the last quarter of the race made for a cold couple of miles and I could have done without. I teetered dangerously close to the cramping line, but slowed down and relied heavily on my poles to keep moving forward eventually making my way down the final 2 mile, 1,500 foot “hill” across the suspension bridge and all the way to the finish line where I collected the highly coveted James Varner high five, some wood fired pizza and a mug of cold tasty local brew! . Not just one of my favorite @rainshadowrunning races, but one of my absolute favorite races. I'll keep coming back as long as I continue to identify as a masochist for distance to vert ratio. . #Yakima #Washington #PNW #WA #PNWonderland #UpperLeftUSA #CascadiaExplored #ItWasntAFluke #RainshadowRunning #WhyRunAnywhereElse #Yakima50k #TT50 #Trailto50
